/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

To be honest, we're actually a month over. The community opened at the beginning of January of 2024. I just totally forgot and didn't notice! Only did now because I was grabbing the link to that callout post I made and realized that it was posted on February 14th, 2024.

In that year we're averaging 1.2k viewers of the community per day! Adds up too considering we have 4.13k subscribers that have come together to put out 3.5k posts and 51k comments! Holy shit! That's insane!

When I and the other mods decided to open this community together we had hoped it would become a popular place for people to relax and share a love of Star Trek. I think it is safe to say that none of us anticipated the size that it would turn out to be in such a short period of time.

You guys are the backbone of the community and the backbone of Lemmy in general. Dedicated as shit users who keep trucking and planting seeds in this fantastic garden. Congratulations. You're all Boothby's. Just as wise and as adorable. I love all you petaQs!

Thank you for all you do and the love you pour into the community. Best userbase anyone could ask for <3

I only pretend to know what's going on around here

I'm just glad to be part of it. This community is amazing. You all really make it worth sticking around.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don't know about you guys, but...

You know what that means, don't you...? Time to press ALL the buttons!?;?;?!?!

Oh ahem, cough, I mean press them in the dignified, reserved, totally calm Star Trek style... of course that's what I meant, yeah...

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Needs some (

I wish PieFed had a Preview feature - it is so much better than Lemmy in so many ways, yet so much worse than others...

Anyway I already ninja edited it, so uh... what could you possibly be talking about there...? 😉

Also, don't let this... distract you or anything like that!

Edit, in response to your own edit:

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What was I talking about again? Ah, fuggedaboudit.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

(Edit: she must just be a simple tailor...?)

We... Ah... What?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ok you convinced me. I will rewatch all of Lower Decks next instead of Voyager.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

You must watch them both!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

As long as you are doing that Boimler booty shake, I'll accept.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Yes... "Boimler"... right...

Or Riker if that's someone's thang:

Wait... what were we talking about again?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I'm not a huge Trekkie, but I dig the vibe

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Thanks for being a place to avoid the real world and its politics. it's much appreciated, truly.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 months ago

The real world and its politics

I've got memes to post.

Edit: this might not have enough filters. Should some red-eye be added in there?

But the cake was chocolate….

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

In most of those instances, the cake was a Troi.

I don't know anything at all about the drama of how this place started, I just am happy that it did. I love how welcoming and friendly it is! Seriously, this type of community is what keeps people from leaving the at-times SUPER aggressive Lemmy. It's a breath of fresh air.

This place to us is what coffee is to Janeway. ☕

Um, well, actually... Yeah! 👍

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

Not for long, Janeway just has this one, tiny little matter to take care of first...

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Differences in moderation style is basically why it got started.

TenForward is pretty great for having a lot of fans who are chill. Some tend to get a bit hotheaded when it comes to their dislike of certain series and people who like it but thats probably the worst you're gonna see on here. Pretty awesome, all things considered.

I'm glad that you've found a spot that you can enjoy <3

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

It's not the "spot" - well it's that as well - but mainly it's the PEOPLE here who make it worthwhile to continue visiting and actively look forward to continuing to do so in the future. It's a literal community in the best sense of the word.:-)
